Hi there,
we tried to play CTP2 via Internet, but there is only one working server and we did not manage to see us in the lobby. So we tried Hamachi, but its not working either. Did somebody try CTP2 and Hamachi and get a working connection. It would be great if somebody could tell me how!
Thanx!

Hi bastain, I assume you're using CtP2 with the Activision 1.11 patch installed?
Did you already install the fixed DLL files to allow Windows 2000/XP users to play against each other? You can find those fixes in this post (Q67):

Yes, we used the patched-Version from Activision, and both machines are running with WinXP....but got no problems playing via LAN. Where is the difference with the dll? Is Hamachi working via "Internet-LAN"?
Is the dll included in the Apolyton-Edition?
Thanx for your support!

We tried the Apolyton-Edition.
We both got the 1.11 installed before installing the Apolyton-Edition.
We used the (one and only) Server that is available via Internet-Play. We saw each other in the lobby. But when we try to start the game, both games crashed without warning. We started a NEW game, not an old saved game.
Any ideas?
Two more questions:
There is no possibility for Direct-IP-Play?
Can I play CTP2 in Window-Mode?

That is a really old Apolyton Edition. The one in my signature is the latest.
Also you don't need to install the 1.11 patch if you use the Apolyton Edition.
If you get the same crash with the latest AE, then just use the 1.11 patched game and just the new dlls.

Hmm...sorry, I didn't find the new version (via your signature). I googled some time but found only older version than mine (12/07). Would you please give me a direct link, so I can look after new versions ? Thanx!
Where can I find the dlls. In the thread mentioned above, the Q67-entry is empty...

DLL's:

But remember you don't need these dll's if you're using the AE, I think they're already included in the AE.

Maybe I need some glasses...but I do not find the Download. Not in the thread, not on your site.
I see...."Here is the latest revision 849:" in the thread.....but no download-Link.
On your site, I see: "Apolyton Edition, User Manual, Credits...." but no download-Link for the latest Archive.
Please be my glasses 
Bastian
P.S.: Btw...I just started a PBEM-Game with a friend. Can I use the upcoming releases with that Game? Will it be compatible?

If the PBEM game was started with the CtP2 Apolyton Edition it should be fine.

Looks like I thought it was enough just to quote the latest release post with the link, unfortunately the quotes appear in blue and the links appear in blue, too.
Anyway I fixed that post.

Since the new version of AE, there is a "bug" at the end of the turn in PBEM-Game. In the Message-Popup-Window after my turn stands "unserer großen Herscherin" on one bitton and "zeist" on the other.
In the last version (german version too) stands "Spiel beenden" (end game) and somethin else.
Weird...

That's a problem with the slic engine, you have to reloadslic to make it work again. To do that, just open the chat window by typing the apostrophe key (') and enter: /reloadslic

Ok....yesterday my friend and I both installed CTP2 from scratch, didn't install the official patch and directly the newest AE-Edition. Further we installed the new servers.dat.
We connected via Internet-Game (911.alink.namesdepot.net was the only avaiable) and saw each other in the lobby. Then I setup a new game, my friend joined, I choose two computer-opponents, and let the game-setup as standard.
We both choose start game, screen went black, parts of the game-ui popped up, but before the map shows up we are both on the Windows-Dektop. No error-message, nothing.
-----NEXT TRY-------
In the next day we install the game again from scratch, install the official patch and use only the new dlls and the servers.dat.
I'll see and report...

Hmmm..... I removed CTP-AE from my HD and installed CTP from scratch (two times now), but the patch did not find the installed game. I installed it on d:\. I use d:\ everytime for my games, and used it already for ctp 2 (patched!).
My friend got the same problem (also got AE installed before), except if he tries to install it on C:\. I didn't try that...
Any ideas?
Could not play CTP2-AE (Internet), cause of the mentioned Crash.
Could not play CTP2-AE/CTP2 over Hamachi, cause we don't see each other ion the lobby.
Could not install CTP with 1.11 and DLLs cause of this new problem.
Hmm...it seems, that we have to use Civ 4.....no, I don't want to.
Any hints?

You need to use the zip format patch instead then. All languages are here:

This means you have also removed the crash.txt.
By the way you can have to copies of CTP2 on your computer, just copy the CTP2 directory. This way you can use the Apolyton Edition for single player.
However, we have to try to fix the crash. If the crash.txt doesn't help, I could you give the debug version, since this creates an extensive log.

It usually happens on Windows XP/2000, but I don't know why the patch installer can't find the CtP2 directory.
Anyway, I gave you the link to download the patch in .zip form which avoids the problem.

Thanx....
But before I try again reinstalling CTP2 I'll wait for Martins guesses about the crash of the Apolyton Edition. I think the AE should work for Multiplayer via Internet.

Well I tried to locate the problem but no luck, I figured out that I have to establish some sort of dial up connection on my computer, although my router does it for me, so that I can start an internet game, with one player.
So I uploaded a new Apolyton Edition, which you can download from this page.
I tried it with one player for the start, allowing other players to join. I could start the game and no crash.
So I suggest to try it again. However if it works without crashing then I am a little bit worried since I didn't fixed the problem, so that might appear again in a future playtest.
If it crashes then I can give you the debug version and we can appoint a time for testing.
And by the way, I cleaned this thread from all the old playtest links. Well humans don't care about it, but robots do, and we want that they find the right stuff.
